Piston (Reciprocating) Air Compressors

Kompresor piston dibuat mirip dengan mesin pembakaran internal. Piston terhubung ke connecting rod dan crankshaft sementara ia bergerak ke atas dan turun dalam silinder. valve mengontrol udara masuk dan keluar dari silinder. Ketika piston bergerak turun, inlet valve terbuka udara masuk ke dalam silinder. Di bagian bawah piston inlet valve pada saat menutup menjebak udara dalam silinder. Ketika piston berubah arah kembali ke bagian atas silinder itu mulai menekan udara. Di bagian atas stroke, exhaust valve terbuka dan memungkinkan udara yang ditekan tadi untuk keluar dari silinder.

Portable Air Compressors

Portable kompresor udara dilengkapi oleh mesin bukan sebuah motor listrik dan dipasang pegangan dan roda untuk kemudahan mobilitas. Kompresor udara portabel umumnya menggunakan piston (reciprocating) atau rotary kompresor kompresor sekrup. Peralatan yang membutuhkan sementara suplai udara bertekanan, atau pasokan udara terkompresi di lokasi yang jauh dari listrik dapat menggunakan kompresor udara portabel ini. contoh; industri konstruksi, kontraktor, dan pekerjaan jalan.

Rotary Screw Compressors

Sebuah kompresor sekrup putar terdiri dari dua sekrup meshing heliks. Satu sekrup memiliki profil laki-laki yang lain memiliki profil perempuan. Tidak ada valve terhubung dengan piston kompresor, yang membuat konstruksi yang lebih sederhana, suara yang tenang pada kompresor. Udara pada tekanan atmosfer memasuki salah satu ujung kompresor dan terjebak antara dua meshing sekrup. Ketika memutar sekrup bersamasama, jarak antara sekrup berkurang yang memampatkan udara yang masih terjebak di antara sekrup. Di ujung kompresor adalah keluaran kompressor berupa udara yang dilepaskan dari antara sekrup pada tekanan yang lebih tinggi secara nyata daripada aslinya masuk.

Scroll Compressors

Sebuah kompresor gulir menggunakan meshed gulungan identik sepasang (atau berbentuk spiral spiral). Satu gulir berputar, sementara yang lain dibuat tetap. Pada gulungan mesh, kantong-kantong berbentuk bulan sabit gas terbentuk antara gulungan dan bergerak dari tepi luar gulir ke tengah. Makin ke tengah tekanan gas makin tinggi kemudian keluar dari kompresor.

Vane air Compressors

Terdiri dari rotor yang dipasang di tengah stator. Rotor dihubungkan dengan kisi2 dan pegas. Pegas menarik kisi2 agar saat extend dalam stator. Karena jarak rotor dibuat ada yg tidak sama terhadap stator, ada jarak yg berubah2 antara keduanya, udara dari atmosfer masuk dalam kompressor pada titik jarak antara rotor dan stator paling besar melalui kisi2. pada saat rotor berputar jarak antara rotor dan stator menyusut , kisi2 mendorong rotor membuat udara yg terjebak di antaranya bertekanan tinggi kemudian di salurkan ke saluaran keluaran kompressor.

Pneumatic Air Springs

Pegas yang diperkuat dengan akhir pelat logam di bagian atas dan bawah. Sebagai pegas udara bertekanan unit mengembang dan akhir lempeng bergerak terpisah. Bagian akhir lempeng bergerak ke arah satu sama lain. Fleksibilitas pegas memungkinkan udara untuk masuk dalam sebuah busur, dan juga bergerak keluar. Ukuran yang kompak udara pegas memungkinkan mereka untuk digunakan dalam mengangkat benda bertekanan rendah. misal: transfer konveyor, gunting lift, sistem suspensi kendaraan, dan isolasi dari getaran

Compressed Air Booster Cylinders

Booster silinder menggunakan konfigurasi udara tekan -sistem minyak,dipakai misal: notching, dan aplikasi stamping. Saat maju menggunakan tekanan udara dan mundur menggunakan tekanan hidrolik. Ada perbedaan rasio ruangan udara dan hidrolik yang memungkinkan cyllinder bisa bergerak maju mundur.

Braking Air Cylinders and Locking Air Cylinders

Dilengkapi dengan pegas yang diklem pada ujungnya sehingga walaupun udara bertekanan sudah hilang maka pegas tidak akan tertarik karena sudah terkunci. Diperlukan tekanan udara untuk membuka mekanisme kunci. Braking cylinder bisa mengunci pada posisi manapun sepanjang rod piston. Pegas untuk extend dan udara untuk retract.

Compact Air Cylinders

Compact air cylinders offer the same force output as larger cylinders while taking up less space. Their small size and flexible mounting options make compact air cylinders ideal for small automation equipment. Some lowprofile cylinders are available with flat machined sides and threaded-hole mounts for easy, accurate mounting. Despite their small size, compact air cylinders are still able to have magnetic position sensing switches mounted to them

Air Cylinder Limit Switches

Air cylinder magnetic limit switches usually come in two varieties. Magnetic reed switches use a tiny micro-switch that is actuated by the magnet within the cylinder's piston. Halleffect switches are solid-state and sense the magnetic field electronically. Hall-effect switches are available as either NPN or PNP.

Rod Boots for Air Cylinders

Rod boots (sometimes called bellows) provide protection against cylinder rod scoring from abrasive particles, chips and other potentially damaging debris. Rod boots are often manufactured of neoprene coated nylon fabric and are an accordion design that expands and contracts with the extension and retraction of the cylinder.

Air Cylinder Rod Locks

Air cylinder rod locks are added to the rodend of cylinders. In order to incorporate the rod lock, the cylinder must have an extended piston rod. The lock is essentially a friction brake that is applied by spring-force, and removed with an air pressure signal. Because the rod lock applies a friction brake to the rod, it can be applied at any position within the stroke of the air cylinder.

Cylinder Slides

Air cylinder slides consist of an air cylinder with external guide shafting. The cylinder and the shafting are connected through a tooling plate. Cylinder slides offer a substantial sideload rating increase over plain cylinders due to the addition of the guide shafting. The most common type of bushings that are available in cylinder slides are bronze bushing, composite bushing, and ball bearing.

Diaphragm Air Cylinders

A diaphragm cylinder uses a rubber diaphragm in place of a piston. Without the friction of a standard piston with seals, diaphragm cylinders are ideal for applications that require a low-friction actuator. To further reduce friction, diaphragm cylinders are often built as a single-acting cylinder with the rod bushing replaced with a linear bearing.

Stainless Steel Air Cylinders

Stainless body cylinders are a very popular low-duty, low-cost cylinder. They consist of a stainless steel tube crimped to anodized aluminum end-caps. As the end-caps are crimped to the tube, these cylinders are not repairable. There is no official standard for these cylinders, but most manufacturers make an interchangeable model. The ISO 6432 standard determines the dimension of stainless body cylinders in Europe. The European model is not interchangeable with the North American version. Stainless body cylinders are known under many different names such as; disposable cylinders, throwaway cylinders, original line cylinders, industrial interchange cylinders, and roundline cylinders.

Tie-rod Air Cylinders

Most tie-rod cylinders are NFPA interchangeable. The NFPA standard controls the major outside dimensions of tie-rod cylinders, making cylinders built by different manufacturers interchangeable. Tie-rod cylinders got their name from the fact that tie-rods are used to hold the cylinder together. The tie-rods extend from one end cap to the other and are either threaded into the end cap or pass through the end cap with a nut on the opposite side. Most cylinders have four tie-rods, but large, heavy-duty tierod cylinders can have many more. Heavyduty tie-rod cylinders have a steel barrel and steel end caps. Medium duty tie-rod cylinders generally have an aluminum cylinder barrel and anodized aluminum end caps.

Rodless Air Cylinders

Rodless cylinders are a compact alternative to standard rod-style cylinders. The stroke of a rodless cylinder is contained within it's body length which makes rodless cylinders about half the length of conventional cylinders. Rodless cylinders are generally used in longstroke shuttle applications, but they have many applications. Band cylinders have a carriage that rides along the outside of a tube with a longitudinal split in it. The piston rides inside the tube and is attached to the carriage through the tube's split. A band covers the split to seal the tube. As the carriage moves along the tube, the band is unseated and then reseated as the carriage passes. The band is not able to create a perfect seal, therefore there is always a very slight leak from band cylinders. Cable cylinders use a piston with aircraft cable attached to both ends of it. The cable travels from the end of the piston, through a gland seal in the cylinder's end cap, around a pulley, and connects to a yoke that travels along the length of the cylinder. As air is input into the left end of a cable cylinder, the piston travels to the right which pulls the yoke to the left. Magnetically coupled cylinders use a piston that has very strong, rare earth magnets attached to it. The carriage that travels outside the tube is magnetically coupled to the piston inside the tube. As the piston travels back and forth within the cylinder tube, the carriage travels with it. Magnetically coupled cylinders are leak-free since there are no leak points. In tough applications, the limiting load capacity of the cylinder can be the strength of the magnet.
